Because I'm in Demand

Disclaimer: I own nothing, just the storyline.

Author's Note: This story is in my head for a while. A short one, just a 'feeling-story'. If you really wanna enjoy it, listen the song In Demand from Texas. I'm dedicating this story to Rach, 'cos she loves Alan Rickman, and to Ursa, who simply loves this song and this kind of love.wink

Author's Note 2. : I know the meaning of the title. And I also know that it doesn't fit into the story, but… I love this line.

That was a very tiring day for Clarisse. She was in Pyrus on a conference, where she had to work whole day…

Yes whole day, but now… it was late night. Clarisse was standing in the street waiting for the limo to take her home…

The summer breeze blew her hair gently and everything was peaceful. She had to wait, but that was somehow relaxing…

After a noisy and tiring day, she was just standing in the summer breeze and watching the night town around her. She could stand like that forever… The town was beautiful, everything was warm and yellow in the lights of the street lamps. And she was waiting, just waiting for the limo…

A few minutes had passed, when a cabrio slowly drew into the parking lane and her Head of Security got off. That was a lovely surprise for Clarisse. Especially, 'cos she was sure that Joseph is still in Paris on that security meeting, and now… he was standing right before her…

"Good evening Your Majesty." smiled Joseph and opened the door for her.

"Joseph. Dear Joseph." tasted the words Clarisse with a warm smile on her face. "I thought you're in Paris… And what happened with the limo?"

"I finished earlier." smiled Joseph. "And I knew you had a hectic day, so… I'll escort you home, if you don't mind."

"Of course I don't." smiled Clarisse and got into the car, before Joseph gently closed the door and sat next to her.

"Shades. Let's go home." ordered Joseph.

And the journey began…

Everything was perfect. Shades drove the car, while Clarisse sat on the backseat with Joseph…

The cabrio was a perfect choice on this wonderful summer night, 'cos they could feel the warm breeze as the car gently tore down the road…

They just sat on the backseat in complete silence and enjoyed the ride…

When the air became cooler, Joseph took off his suit and covered her with it, whereupon Clarisse's answer was a sleepy but loving smile.

She was really grateful for this gesture, and what is more, as she drew closer the suit around her, Joseph's scent immediately filled her mind… That was the most relaxing thing she has ever felt…

As time passed by, she was more and more tired. So she slowly laid her head down onto his shoulder. And somehow, a few minutes later she was in his arms…

And Joseph… he instinctively wrapped his arms around her…

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Two hours had passed, but Joseph was still sitting on the backseat with Clarisse. Everything was so peaceful. The town was far away. He just saw the endless highway and Clarisse, who was sleeping like and angel… An angel in his arms…

When they reached the palace's gate, instead of get it, Shades quietly drove along and Joe… he just whispered a little 'thank you' and turned back to his angle…

The End
